TO THE EIGHTH EDITION. 



The first edition of " Familiar Quotations " was 
published in 1855, the seventh in 1875. The pres- 
ent edition contains quotations from one hundred 
and twenty-five authors who are not represented in 
any former edition ; and more than six thousand 
lines have been added to the Index. 

Cambridge, October, 1882. 



PREFACE 

TO THE SIXTH EDITION. 



This edition embodies the results of the later- 
researches of its editors, besides the contributions of 
various friends, and includes many quotations which 
have long been waiting a favorable verdict on the 
all-important question of familiarity. A few changes 
have been made in the arrangement, and the cita- 
tions from Shakespeare have been adapted to the 
principal modern editions. 

The former edition has been freshly compared 
with the originals, and such errors removed as the 
revision has disclosed. The editorial labors have 
been shared with Kezin A. Wight, Esq., of New 
York, who has been a generous contributor to the 
former editions. 

The editor takes pleasure in acknowledging his 
renewed obligations to Prof. Henry W. Hayxes, 
of Burlington; D. W. Wilder, Esq., of Leaven- 
worth; Justin Wixsor, Esq., and James J. Stor- 
row, Esq., of Boston ; and to many other friends. 

Cambridge, June, 1868.

To loose good dayes, that might be better spent ; 
To wast long nights in pensive discontent ; 
To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow ; 
To feed on hope, to pine with feare and sorrow. 

To fret thy soule with crosses and with cares ; 
To eate thy heart through comfortlesse dispaires ; 
To fawne, to crowche, to waite, to ride, to ronne.

Silence in love bewrays more woe

A beggar that is dumb, you know, 

May challenge double pity. The Silent Lover, 

Go, Soul, the body's guest, 

Upon a thankless arrant : 

Fear not to touch the best ; 

The truth shall be thy warrant : 
Go, since I needs must die, 
And give the world the lie. The Lie. 

Methought I saw the grave where Laura lay. 

Verses to Edmund Spenser. 

Cowards [may] fear to die ; but courage stout, 
Rather than live in snuff, will be put out. 

On the snuff of a candle the night before he died. — Raleigh's 
Remains, p. 258, ed. 1661. 

Even such is time, that takes in trust 
Our youth, our joys, our all we have, 
And pays us but with age and dust ; 
Who, in the dark and silent grave, 
When we have wandered all our ways, 
Shuts up the story of our days ; 
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, 
My God shall raise me up, I trust ! 

Written the night before his death. — Found in his 
Bible in the Gate-house at Westminster.

On a rock or in a cell. Poem.

18 MARLOWE. — HOOKER. 

When all the world dissolves, 
And every creature shall be purified, 
All places shall be hell that are not heaven. Faustus 

Was this the face that launch 'd a thousand ships, 

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium ? 

Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. 

Her lips suck forth my soul : see, where it flies ! Ibid, 

O, thou art fairer than the evening air, 

Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars. Ibid. 

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, 

And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, 1 

That sometime grew within this learned man. Ibid. 



RICHARD HOOKER. 1553-1600. 

Of Law there can be no less acknowledged, than 
that her seat is the bosom of God, her voice the har- 
mony of the world : all things in heaven and earth do 
her homage, the very least as feeling her care, and the 
greatest as not exempted from her power. 

Ecclesiastical Polity. Boole i. 

That to live by one man's will became the cause of 
all men's misery. Booh i.

The soldier's pole is fallen.

What seest thou else 
In the dark backward and abysm of time ? Act i. Sc. 2. 

I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated 

To closeness, and the bettering of my mind. Ibid. 

Like one, 
Who having, into truth, by telling of it, 
Made such a sinner of his memory, 
To credit his own lie. Ibid. 

My library

From the still-vexed Bermoothes. Ibid. 

I will be correspondent to command 

And do my spiriting gently. Ibid. 

Fill all thy bones with aches. Ibid. 

Come unto these yellow sands, 

And then take hands : 
Courtsied when you have, and kissed 

The wild waves whist. Ibid. 

Full fathom five thy father lies ; 

Of his bones are coral made ; 
Those are pearls that were his eyes : 

Nothing of him that doth fade 
But doth suffer a sea- change 
Into something rich and strange. Ibid.

The solemn temples, the great globe itself,

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 

Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff

Found out the remedy. How would you be,

Bloody Brother, with the following additional stanza: — 
Hide, O, hide those hills of snow,

On whose tops the pinks that grow 

Are of those that April wears! 
But first set my poor heart free, 
Bound in those icy chains by thee.

Swift as a shadow, short as any dream ; 

Brief as the lightning in the collied night, 

That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, 

And ere a man hath power to say, " Behold ! " 

The jaws of darkness do devour it up : 

So quick bright things come to confusion. Ibid.

The lover, all as frantic, 
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt : 
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, 
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven ; 
And as imagination bodies forth 
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen 
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing 
A local habitation and a name 
Such tricks hath strong imagination, 
That, if it would but apprehend some joy, 
It comprehends some bringer of that joy ; 
Or in the night, imagining some fear, 
How easy is a bush supposed a bear ! Ibid

Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. Ibid.

And when I ope my lips let no dog bark ! Ibid. 

Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more 
than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two 
grains of w T heat hid in two bushels of chaff : you shall 
seek all day ere you find them, and when you have 
them, they are not worth the search. Ibid. 

In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,

Lean, rent, and beggared by the strumpet wind !

Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings ; 

Bnt mercy is above this sceptred sway ; 

It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, 

It is an attribute to God himself ; 

And earthly power doth then show likest God's, 

"When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, 

Though justice be thy plea, consider this, 

That, in the course of justice, none of us 

Should see salvation : we do pray for mercy ; 

And that same prayer doth teach us all to render 

The deeds of mercy.

SHAKESPEARE. 41 

There 's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st 
But in his motion like an angel sings, 
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins ; 
Such harmony is in immortal souls ; 
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay 
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. 

The Merchant of Venice. Act v. Sc. 1. 

I am never merry when I hear sweet music. Ibid. 

The man that hath no music in himself,

Sweet are the uses of adversity, 

Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, 

Wears yet a precious jewel in his head ; 

And this our life exempt from public haunt 

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, 

Sermons in stones and good in every thing.

And so. from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe. 

And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot ;

And I did laugh sans intermission 
An hour by his dial.

44 SHAKESPEARE. 

All the world 's a stage, 
And all the men and women merely players : 
They have their exits and their entrances ; 
And one man in his time plays many parts, 
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, 
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. 
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel 
And shining morning face, creeping like snail 
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, 
Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad 
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, 
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, 
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, 
Seeking the bubble reputation 

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, 
In fair round belly with good capon lined, 
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, 
Full of wise saws and modern instances ; 
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts 
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, 
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, 
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide 
For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, 
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes 
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, 
That ends this strange eventful history, 
Is second childishness and mere oblivion, 
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.

I would the gods had made thee poetical. Act iii. Sc. 3. 

Down on your knees, 
And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love. 

Act iii. Sc. 5. 

It is a melancholy of miue own, compounded of 
many simples, extracted from many objects, and in- 
deed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which 
my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous 
sadness. Act iv. Sc. 1. 

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than 
experience to make me sad. Ibid.

He gave his nose and took 't away again. Act I Sc. 3.

He called them untaught knaves, unmannerly, 

To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse 

Betwixt the wind and his nobilitv. Ibid,

And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on earth 
Was parmaceti for an inward bruise ; 
And that it was great pity, so it was, 
This villanous saltpetre should be digged 
Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, 
Which many a good tall fellow had destroyed 
So cowardly ; and but for these vile guns, 
He would himself have been a soldier.

His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,

villains march wide betwixt the legs, as if they had 
gyves on ; for indeed I had the most of them out of 
prison. There 's but a shirt and a half in all my com-

The hum of either army stilly sounds, 
That the fixed sentinels almost receive 
The secret whispers of each other's watch : 
Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames 
Each battle sees the other's umbered face ; 
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs 
Piercing the night's dull ear, and from the tents 
The armourers, accomplishing the knights, 
With busy hammers closing rivets up, 
Give dreadful note of preparation. 

Kiny Henry V. Act iv. Prologue. 

There is some soul of goodness in things evil, 

Would men observingly distil it out. Act iv. Sc. 1. 

Every subject's duty is the king's ; but every sub- 
ject's soul is his own. Ibid. 

That 's a perilous shot cut of an elder-gun. Ibid. 

Who with a body filled and vacant mind 

Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread. Ibid. 

Winding up days with toil and nights with sleep. Ibid. 

But if it be a sin to covet honour, 

I am the most offending soul alive. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

This day is called the feast of Crispian : 

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, 

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, 

And rouse him at the name of Crispian. Ibid.

King Henry VI., Part I. Act i. Sc. 1. 

Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch ; 
Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth ; 
Between two blades, which bears the better temper ; 
Between two horses, which doth bear him best ; 
Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye ; 
I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgment ; 
But in these nice sharp quillets of the law, 
Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. Act ii. Sc. 4.

Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted. 1

He dies, and makes no sign. Act iii. Sc. 3. 

Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close ; 

And let us all to meditation. Ibid.

Act iv. Sc. 2. 

Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an 
innocent lamb should be made parchment ? that parch- 
ment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man ? Ibid. 

Sir, he made a chimney in my father's house, and 
the bricks are alive at this day to testify it. Ibid. 

Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of 
the realm in erecting a grammar-school : and whereas, 
before, our forefathers had no other books but the 
score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be 
used, and, contrary to the king, his crown and dignity, 
thou hast built a paper-mill. Act iv. Sc. 7. 

How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown ; 

Within whose circuit is Elysium

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind ; 

The thief doth fear each bush an officer. Act v. Sc. o. 

Now is the winter of our discontent 

Made glorious summer by tins sun of York ; 

And all the clouds that loured upon our house 

In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. 

Xow are our brows bound with victorious wreaths ; 

Our bruised arms hung up for monuments ; 

Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, 

Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. 

Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front ; 

And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds 

To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, 

He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber 

To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. 

But I. that am not shaped for sportive tricks, 

Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass ; 

I. that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty 



TO SHAKESPEARE. 

To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; 
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion. 
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, 
Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time 
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, 
And that so lamely and unfashionable 
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them ; 
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, 
Have no delight to pass away the time, 
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun.

With old odd ends, stolen out of l holy writ ; 
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil. Ibid. 

O, I have passed a miserable night, 

So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, 

That, as I am a Christian faithful man, 

I would not spend another such a night, 

Though 't were to buy a world of happy days. 

Act i. Sc. 4 

Lord, Lord ! methought, what pain it was to drown ! 
What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears ! 
What ufflv sights of death within mine eves !

SHAKESPEARE. 71 

Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon ; 

Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl. 

Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, 

All scattered in the bottom of the sea :

Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, 

As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems.

What appetite you have. King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2. 

I have touched the highest point of all my greatness ; 

And, from that full meridian of my glory, 

I haste now to my setting : I shall fall 

Like a bright exhalation in the evening. 

And no man see me more. Ibid. 

Press not a falling man too far ! Ibid. 

Farewell ! a long farewell, to all my greatness ! 

This is the state of man : to-day he puts forth 

The tender leaves of hopes ; to-morrow blossoms, 

And bears his blushing honours thick upon him ; 

The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, 

And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely 

His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, 

And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, 

Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, 

This many summers in a sea of glory. 

But far beyond my depth : my high-blown pride 

At length broke under me and now has left me, 

Weary and old with service, to the mercy 

Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. 

Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye : 

I feel my heart new opened. 0, how wretched 

Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours ! 

There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to, 

That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, 

More pangs and fears than wars or women have : 

And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, 

Never to hope again. Ibid

A still and quiet conscience. Ibid

And sounded all the depths and shoals of honour, 
Found thee a way, out of his wreck, to rise in ; 
A sure and safe one, though thy master missed it. Ibid, 

I charge thee, fling away ambition : 
By that sin fell the angels. Ibid. 

Love thyself last : cherish those hearts that hate thee ; 
Corruption wins not more than honesty. 
Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, 
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not: 
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, 
Thy God's, and truth's ; then if thou fall'st, O Crom- 
well, 
Thou fall'st a blessed martyr ! Ibid. 

Had I but served my God with half the zeal 
I served my king, he would not in mine age 
Have left me naked to mine enemies. Ibid.

Troilus and Cressicla. Act iii. Sc. 3.

More laud than gilt o'er-dusted. Ibid. 

And, like a dew-drop from the lion's mane, 

Be shook to air. Ibid. 

His heart and hand both open and both free ; 
For what he has he gives, what thinks he shows ; 
Yet gives he not till judgment guide his bounty.

The end crowns all. Ibid.

I thank you for your voices : thank you : 
Your most sweet voices. Ibid. 

Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Act iii. Sc. 1. 

His nature is too noble for the world : 

He would not natter Neptune for his trident, 

Or Jove for 's power to thunder. Ibid. 

Sew. Where dwellest thou? 

Cor. Under the canopy. Act iv. Sc. 5. 

A name unmusical to the Volscians' ears, 

And harsh in sound to thine. Ibid. 

Chaste as the icicle 
That 's curdied by the frost from purest snow 
And hangs on Dian's temple. Act v. Sc 3. 

1 See Richard Lovelace. Pacre 172. 



SHAKESPEARE. 77 

If you have writ your annals true, 't is there, 

That, like an eagle in a dove-cote, I 

Fluttered your Yolscians in Corioli : 

Alone I did it. Boy ! Coriolanus. Act v. Sc. 6. 1 

Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. 

Titus Andronicus. Act i. Sc. 2. 
She is a woman, therefore may be wooed ; 
She is a woman, therefore may be won ; 
She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. 
What, man I more water glideth by the mill 
Than wots the miller of; and easy it is 
Of a cut loaf to steal a shive. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

The eagle suffers little birds to sing. Act iv. Sc. 4. 

The weakest goes to the wall. 

Borneo and Juliet. Act i. Sc. 1. 

Gregory, remember thy swashing blow. Ibid, 

An hour before the worshipped sun 
Peered forth the golden window of the east. Ibid. 

As is the bud bit with an envious worm, 

Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, 

Or dedicate his beauty to the sun. Ibid. 

Saint-seducing gold. Ibid. 

He that is strucken blind cannot forget 

The precious treasure of his eyesight lost. Ibid. 

One fire burns out another's burning, 
One pain is lessened by another's anguish. Act i. Sc. 2. 

That book in many's eyes doth share the glory, 

That in gold clasps locks in the golden story. Act i. Sc. 3. 

For I am proverbed with a grandsire phrase. Act i. Sc. 4 

1 Act v. Sc. 5, Singer Knight. 



78 SHAKESPEARE. 

O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. 
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes 
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone 
On the fore-finger of an alderman, 
Drawn with a team of little atomies 
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep. 

Romeo and Juliet. Act i. Sc. 4. 
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, 
Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers. Ibid, 

Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck, 

And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, 

Of breaches, ambuscadoes, SjDanish blades, 

Of healths five-fathom deep ; and then anon 

Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes, 

And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two 

And sleeps again. ibid. 

True, I talk of dreams, 
Which are the children of an idle brain, 
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy. Ibid. 

For you and I are past our dancing days. Act i. Sc. 5. 

It seems she hangs 1 upon the cheek of night 

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear. Ibid. 

Shall have the chinks. Ibid. 

Too early seen unknown, and known too late ! Ibid. 

Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, 
When King Cophetua loved the beggar maid ! 

Act ii. Sc. 1. 
He jests at scars that never felt a wound. 
But, soft ! what light through yonder window breaks ? 
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Act ii, Sc. 2. 2

2 Act ii. Sc. 1, White. 



SHAKESPEARE. 79 

See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand ! 
O, that I were a glove npon that hand, 
That I might touch that cheek ! 

Romeo and Juliet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 1 

Romeo, Romeo ! wherefore art thou Romeo ? Ibid. 1 

What 's in a name ? that which we call a rose 

By any other name would smell as sweet. Ibid. 1 

For stony limits cannot hold love out. Ibid. 1 

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye 

Than twenty of their swords. Ibid J 

At lovers' perjuries, 2 
They say, Jove laughs. Ibid J 

Rom. Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear, 
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops — 

Jul. O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, 
That monthly changes in her circled orb, 
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable. Ibid. 1 

The god of my idolatry. Ibid. 1 

Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be, 

Ere one can say, ' It lightens.' Ibid. 1 

This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, 

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Ibid. 1 

How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night, 
Like softest music to attending ears ! Ibid. 1 

Good night, good night ! parting is such sweet sorrow, 
That I shall say good night till it be morrow. Ibid A- 

1 Act ii. Sc. 1, White.

Jupiter. Tibullus, Lib. iii. El 6, Line 49, 



80 SHAKESPEARE. 

O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies 
In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities : 
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live 
But to the earth some special good doth give, 
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use 
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse : 
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied ; 
And vice sometimes by action dignified. 

Romeo and Juliet, Act ii. Sc. 3. 

Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, 

And where care lodges, sleep will never lie. ibid. 

Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears. Ibid. 

Stabbed with a white wench's black eye. Act ii. Sc, 4.

One, two, and the third in your bosom. Ibid. 

flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified ! Ibid. 

1 am the very pink of courtesy. Ibid. 

A gentleman, nurse, that loves to hear himself talk, 
and will speak more in a minute than he will stand to 
in a month. Ibid. 

My man 's as true as steel. 1 Ibid. 

These violent delights have violent ends. Act ii. Sc. 6. 

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. Ibid. 

Here comes the lady : O, so light a foot 

Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint. Ibid. 

Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of 
meat. Act iii. Sc. 1. 

1 'true as steel,' Chaucer, Troilus and Creseide, Book v.; Shake- 
speare, Troilus and Cressida, Act iii. Sc. 2. 



SHAKESPEARE. 81 

A word and a blow. Romeo and Juliet. Act iii. Sc. 1. 

A plague o' both your houses ! Ibid. 

Rom. Courage, man ; the hurt cannot be much. 
Mer. No, 't is not so deep as a well, nor so wide as 
a church-door ; but 't is enough, 't will serve. Ibid. 

When he shall die, 
Take him and cut him out in little stars, 
And he will make the face of heaven so fine 
That all the world will be in love with night 
And pay no worship to the garish sun. Act iii. Sc. 2. 

Beautiful tyrant ! fiend angelical ! Ibid. 

Was ever book containing such vile matter 

So fairly bound ? O, that deceit should dwell 

In such a gorgeous palace '. Ibid. 

Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden axe. Act iii. Sc. 3. 

They may seize 
On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand 
And steal immortal blessing from her lips, 
Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, 
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin. Ibid. 

The damned use that word in hell. Ibid. 

Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy. Ibid. 

Taking the measure of an unmade grave. Ibid. 

Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day 

Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. Act iii, Sc. 5. 

Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Ibid. 

All these woes shall serve 
For sweet discourses in our time to come. Ibid.

Romeo and Juliet. Act in. Sc. 5. 

Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty. Act W. Sc. 2. 

My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne. Act v. Sc. 1. 

I do remember an apothecary, — 

And hereabouts he dwells. Tbid. 

Meagre were his looks, 
Sharp misery had worn him to the bones. Ibid. 

A beggarly account of empty boxesc Ibid. 

Famine is in thy cheeks. Ibid. 

The world is not thy friend nor the world's law. Ibid. 

Ap. My poverty, but not my will, consents. 

Rom. I pay thy poverty, and not thy will. Ibid. 

One writ with me in sour misfortune's book ! Act v. Sc. 3. 

Her beauty makes 
This vault a feasting presence full of light. Ibid. 

Beauty's ensign yet 
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, 
And death's pale nag is not advanced there. Ibid. 

Eyes, look your last ! 
Arms, take your last embrace ! Ibid. 

But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, 

Leaving no tract behind. Timon of Athens. Act i. Sc. 1. 

Men shut their doors against a setting sun. Act i. Sc. 2. 

Every room 
Hath blazed with lights and brayed with minstrelsy. 

Act ii. Sc. 2. 
'T is lack of kindlv warmth. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 83 

Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy. 

Timon of Athens. Act iii. Sc. 5. 

We have seen better clays. Act iv. Sc. 2. 

Are not within the leaf of pity writ. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

I '11 example you with thievery : 
The sun 's a thief, and with his great attraction 
Robs the vast sea : the moon 's an arrant thief, 
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun : 
The sea 's a thief, whose liquid surge resolves 
The moon into salt tears : the earth 's a thief, 
That feeds and breeds by a composture stolen 
From general excrement : each thing 's a thief. Ibid. 

As proper men as ever trod upon neat's leather. 

Julius Caesar. Act i. Sc. 1. 
The live-long day. Ibid. 

Beware the ides of March. Act i. Sc. 2, 

Well, honour is the subject of my story. 

I cannot tell what you and other men 

Think of this life ; but, for my single self, 

I had as lief not be as live to be 

In awe of such a thing as I myself. Ibid. 

' Darest thou, Cassius, now 
Leap in with me into this angry flood, 
And swim to yonder point ? ' Upon the word, 
Accoutred as I was, I plunged in 
And bade him follow. Ibid. 

Help me, Cassius, or I sink ! Ibid. 

Ye gods, it doth amaze me 
A man of such a feeble temper should 
So get the start of the majestic world 
And bear the palm alone. Ibid 



84 SHAKESPEARE. 

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world 
Like a Colossus, and we petty men 
Walk nnder his huge legs and peep about 
To find ourselves dishonourable graves. 
Men at some time are masters of their fates : 
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, 
But in ourselves, that we are underlings. 

Julius Ccesar. Act i. Sc> 2. 

Conjure with 'em, 
Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Csesar. 
Now, in the names of all the gods at once, 
Upon what meat doth this our Csesar feed, 
That he is grown so great ? Age, thou art shamed ! 
Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods ! Ibid, 

There was a Brutus once that would have brooked 

The eternal devil to keep his state in Rome 

As easily as a king. Ibid 

Let me have men about me that are fat ; 
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights : 
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look ; 
He thinks too much : such men are dangerous. Ibid. 

He reads much ; 
He is a great observer and he looks 
Quite through the deeds of men. Ibid. 

Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort 

As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit 

That could be moved to smile at any thing. Ibid, 

But, for mine own part, it was Greek to me. Ibid, 

'T is a common proof, 
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, 
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face ; 



SHAKESPEARE. 85 

But when he once attains the upmost ] round. 

He then unto the ladder turns his back, 

Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees 

By which he did ascend. Julius Ceesar. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

Between the acting of a dreadful thing 

And the first motion, all the interim is 

Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream : 

The Genius and the mortal instruments 

Are then in council ; and the state of man, 

Like to a little kingdom, suffers then 

The nature of an insurrection. Ibid. 

A dish fit for the gods. Ibid. 

But when I tell him he hates flatterers, 

He savs he does, being then most flattered. Ibid. 

With an angry wafture of your hand, 
Gave sign for me to leave you. Ibid. 

You are my true and honourable wife, 

As dear to me as are the ruddy drops 

That visit my sad heart. Ibid. 

Think you I am no stronger than my sex, 
Being so fathered and so husbanded ? Ibid- 

Fierce fiery warriors fought upon the clouds, 
In ranks and squadrons and right form of war, 
Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol. Act ii. Sc. 2. 

These things are beyond all use, 
And I do fear them. Ibid. 

When beggars die, there are no comets seen ; 
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. 

Ibid. 

1 'utmost,' Singer. 



86 SHAKESPEARE. 

Cowards die many times before their deaths; 

The valiant never taste of death but once. 

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, 

It seems to me most strange that men should fear ; 

Seeing that death, a necessary end, 

Will come when it will come. Julius Ccesar. Act ii. Sc. 2 

Gees, The ides of March are come. 

Sooth. Ay, Caesar ; but not gone. Act iii. Sc. 1. 

But I am constant as the northern star, 
Of whose true-fixed and resting quality 
There is no fellow in the firmament. Ibid. 

Et tu, Brute ! ibid. 

The choice and master spirits of this age. Ibid. 

Though last, not least in love. Ibid. 

O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, 

That I am meek and gentle with these butchers ! 

Thou art the ruins of the noblest man 

That ever lived in the tide of times. Ibid. 

Cry ' Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war. Ibid. 

Romans, countrymen, and lovers ! hear me for my 
cause, and be silent, that you may hear. Act h\. Sc 2. 

Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome 
more. Ibid. 

Who is here so base that would be a bondman ? Ibid. 

If any, speak ; for him have I offended. I pause 
for a reply. Ibid. 

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears ; 

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. 

The evil that men do lives after them ; 

The £Ood is oft interred with their bones. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE, 87 

For Brutus is an honourable man ; 
So are they all, all honourable men. 

Julius Ccesar. Act iii. Sc. 2. 

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept : 
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Ibid. 

judgment ! thou art fled to brutish beasts, 

And men have lost their reason. Ibid. 

But yesterday the word of Caesar might- 
Have stood against the world ; now lies he there, 
And none so poor to do him reverence. Ibid. 

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. Ibid. 

See what a rent the envious Casca made. Ibid. 

This was the most unkindest cut of all. Ibid. 

Great Caesar fell. 
O, what a fall was there, my countrymen ! 
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down, 
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us. Ibid. 

What private griefs they have, alas, I know not. Ibid. 

1 come not, friends, to steal away your hearts : 
I am no orator, as Brutus is ; 

But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man. Ibid. 

I only speak right od. Ibid. 

Put a tongue 
In every wound of Caesar that should move 
The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny. Ibid. 

'When love begins to sicken and decay, 

It useth an enforced ceremony. 

There are no tricks in plain and simple faith. 

Act ftr. Sc. 2. 



88 SHAKESPEARE. 

You yourself 
Are much condemned to have an itching palm. 

Julius Ccesar. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

The foremost man of all this world. Ibid. 

I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, 

Than such a Roman. Ibid. 

I said, an elder soldier, not a better : 

Did I say ' better ' ? Ibid. 

There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, 

For I am armed so strong in honesty 

That they pass by me as the idle wind, 

Which I respect not. Ibid. 

Should I have answered Caius Cassius so ? 

When Marcus Brutus grows so covetous, 

To lock such rascal counters from his friends, 

Be ready, gods, w T ith all your thunderbolts ; 

Dash him to pieces ! Ibid. 

A friend should bear his friend's infirmities, 

But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. Ibid. 

All his faults observed. 
Set in a note-book, learned, and conned by rote. Ibid. 

There is a tide in the affairs of men. 

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune ; 

Omitted, all the voyage of their life 

Is bound in shallows and in miseries. Ibid. 

We must take the current when it serves, 
Or lose our ventures. Ibid. 

The deep of night is crept upon our talk, 

And nature must obey necessity. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 89 

Brutus. Then I shall see thee again ? 

Ghost. Ay. at Philippi. 

Brutus. Why, I will see thee at Philippi. then. 

Julius CcBsar. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

For ever, and for ever, farewell. Cassias ! 

If we do meet again, why. we shall smile ; 

If not, why then, this parting was well made. Act v. Sc. 1. 

0. that a man might know 
The end of this day's business ere it come ! Ibid. 

The last of all the Romans, fare thee well ! Act v. Sc. 3. 

This was the noblest Roman of them all. Act v. Sc. 5. 

His life was gentle, and the elements 

So mixed in him that Nature might stand up 

And say to all the world, ; This was a man ! ' Ibid. 

1 W. TThen shall we three meet again 

In thunder, lightning, or in rain ?

Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Ibid. 

Banners flout the sky. Act l Sc. 2. 

Sleep shall neither night nor day 

Hang upon his pent-house lid. Act i. Sc. 3. 

Dwindle, peak, and pine. Ibid. 

TThat are these 
So withered and so wild in their attire. 
That look not like the inhabitants o" the earth, 
And yet are on *t ? Ibid. 

If you can look into the seeds of time. 

And sav which o;rai n will otow and which will not. Ibid 



90 SHAKESPEARE. 

Stands not within the prospect of belief. 

Macbeth. Act i. Sc. 3. 

The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, 

And these are of them. Ibid. 

The insane root 
That takes the reason prisoner. Ibid. 

And oftentimes, to win us to oar harm, 

The instruments of darkness tell us truths, 

Win us with honest trifles, to betray 's 

In deepest consequence. Ibid. 

Two truths are told, 
As happy prologues to the swelling act 
Of the imperial theme. Ibia 

And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, 

Against the use of nature. Present fears 

Are less than horrible imaginings. Ibid. 

Nothing is 
But what is not. Ibid. 

If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown 
me. Ibid. 

Come what come may, 
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. Ibid. 

Nothing in his life 
Became him like the leaving it ; he died 
As one that had been studied in his death 
To throw away the dearest thing he owed, 
As 't were a careless trifle. Act i. fife. 4. 

There 's no art 
To find the mind's construction in the face. Ibid. 

More is thy due than more than all can pay. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 91 

Yet do I fear thy nature ; 
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness. 

Macbeth, Act i. fie. 5. 

What thou wouldst highly, 
That wouldst thou holily ; wouldst not play false, 
And yet wouldst wrongly win. Ibid, 

That no compunctious visitings of nature 

Shake my fell purpose. Ibid. 

Your face, my thane, is as a book where men 
May read strange matters. To beguile the time, 
Look like the time ; bear welcome in your eye, 
Your hand, your tongue : look like the innocent flower, 
But be the serpent under 't. Ibid 

Which shall to all our nights and days to come 

Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom. Ibid 

This castle hath a pleasant seat ; the air 

Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself 

Unto our gentle senses. Act i. Sc. 6 

The heaven's breath 
Smells wooingly here : no jutty, frieze, 
Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird 
Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle : 
Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed, 
The air is delicate. Ibid 

If it were done when 't is done, then 't were well 
It were done quickly : if the assassination 
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch 
With his surcease success ; that but this blow 
Might be the be-all and the end-all here, 
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time* 



92 SHAKESPEARE. 

We 'Id jump the life to come. But in these cases 
We still have judgment here ; that we but teach 
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return 
To plague the inventor : this even-handed justice 
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice 

To Our own lips. Macbeth, Act i. Sc. 7. 

Besides, this Duncan 
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been 
So clear in his great office, that his virtues 
AYill plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against 
The deep damnation of his taking-off ; 
And pity, like a naked new-born babe, 
Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed 
Upon the sightless couriers of the air, 
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, 
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur 
To prick the sides of my intent, but only 
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself, 
And falls on the other. J bid. 

I have bought 
Golden opinions from all sorts of people. Ibid. 

Letting ' I dare not ' wait upon ' I would,' 

Like the poor cat i' the adage. Ibid. 

I dare do all that may become a man ; 

Who dares do more is none. Ibid. 

Nor time nor place 
Did then adhere. Ibid. 

Macb. If we should fail ? 

Lady M. We fail ! 

But screw your courage to the sticking-place, 
And we '11 not fail. Ibid.

Memory, the warder of the brain. Macbeth, Act i. Sc 7. 

There 's husbandry m heaven 
Their candles are all out. Act ii. Sc. l. 

Shut up 
In measureless content. Ibid. 

Is this a dagger which I see before me, 

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch 

thee. 
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. 
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible 
To feeling as to sight ? or art thou but 
A dagger of the mind, a false creation, 
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain ? Ibid. 

Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going. Ibid. 

Now o'er the one half-world 
Nature seems dead. ibid. 

Thou sure and firm-set earth, 
Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear 
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout. Ibid. 

Hear it not, Duncan ; for it is a knell 

That summons thee to heaven or to hell. Ibid. 

It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman, 
Which gives the stern'st good-night. Act ii. Sc. 2J 

The attempt and not the deed 
Confounds us. Ibid. 1 

I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen ' 

Stuck in my throat. Ibid.' 1

94 SHAKESPEARE, 

Methought I heard a voice cry, ' Sleep no more! 
Macbeth does murder sleep/ the innocent sleep, 
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care, 
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, 
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, 
Chief nourisher in life's feast. __ Macbeth. Act ii. Sc. 2. 1 

Infirm of purpose ! Ibid. 1 

'T is the eye of childhood

96 SHAKESPEARE. 

Better be with the dead. 
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace, 
Than on the torture of the mind to lie 
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave ; 
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well ; 
Treason has done his worst : nor steel, nor poison, 
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing, 
Can touch him further. Macbeth, Act iii. Sc. 2. 

In them nature's copy 's not eterne. Ibid. 

A deed of dreadful note. Ibid. 

Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill. Ibid. 

Now spurs the lated traveller apace 

To gain the timely inn. Act iii. Sc. 3. 

But now I am cabined, cribbed, confined, bound in 
To saucy doubts and fears. Act iii. Sc. 4. 

Now, good digestion wait on appetite, 

And health on both! Ibid. 

Thou canst not say I did it : never shake 

Thy gory locks at me. Ibid. 

The air-drawn dagger. Ibid. 

The times have been, 
That, when the brains were out, the man would die, 
And there an end ; but now they rise again, 
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns, 
And push us from our stools. Ibid. 

Thou hast no speculation in those eyes 

Which thou dost glare with ! Ibid, 

A thing of custom : 't is no other ; 
Only it spoils the pleasure of the time. Ibid 



SHAKESPEARE. 97 

What man dare. I dare : 
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear. 
The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger; 
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves 
Shall never tremble. Macbeth. Act Hi. Sc. 4. 

Hence, horrible shadow ! 
Unreal mockery, hence ! Ibid 

You have displaced the mirth, broke the good meeting, 
With most admired disorder. ibid. 

Can such things be, 
And overcome us like a summer's cloud. 
Without our special wonder ? Ibid, 

Stand not upon the order of your going, 

But go at once. Ibid. 

Macb. "What is the night ? 

L. Macb. Almost at odds with morning, which is which. 

Ibid. 
I am in blood 
Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, 
Returning were as tedious as go o'er. Ibid. 

My little spirit, see, 
Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me. Act Hi. 5c. 5. 

Double, double toil and trouble ; 

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Act iv Sc. I. 

Eye of newt and toe of frog, 

Wool of bat and tongue of do£. Ibid. 

By the pricking of my thumbs, 
Something wicked this way comes. 

Open, locks. 

Whoever knocks ! Ib'd. 



98 SHAKESPEARE. 

How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags ! 

Macbeth. Act iv. Sc, 1. 

A deed without a name. Ibid, 

I '11 make assurance double sure, 
And take a bond of fate. Ibid. 

Show his eyes, and grieve his heart ; 

Come like shadows, so depart ! Ibid. 

What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom ? 

Ibid. 
The weird sisters. Ibid. 

The flighty purpose never is o'ertook, 

Unless the deed go with it. Ibid. 

Yriien our actions do not, 
Our fears do make us traitors. Act iv. Sc. 2. 

Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. 

Act iv. Sc. 3. 
Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, 
Uproar the universal peace, confound 
All unity on earth. Ibid. 

Stands Scotland where it did ? Ibid. 

Give sorrow words : the grief that does not speak 
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break. Ibid. 

What, all my pretty chickens and their dam 

At one fell swoop ? Ibid. 

I cannot but remember such things were, 

That were most precious to me. Ibid. 

O, I could play the woman with mine eyes 

And braggart with my tongue ! Ibid. 

Out, damned spot ! out, I say ! Act v. -Sc. 1. 



SHAKESPEARE. 99 

Fie, my lord, fie ! a soldier, and afeard ? 

Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 1. 

Yet who would have thought the old man to have 
had so much blood in him? Ibid, 

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this 
little hand. Ibid. 

My way of life 
Is fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf ; 
And that which should accompany old age, 
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, 
I must not look to have ; but, in their stead, 
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, 
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. 

Act v. Sc. 3 

Doct. Xot so sick, my lord, 

As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies, 
That keep her from her rest. 

JIacb. Cure her of that. 

Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, 
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, 
Raze out the written troubles of the brain 
And with some sweet oblivious antidote 
Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff 
Which weighs upon the heart ? 

Doct. Therein the patient 

Must minister to himself. 

JIacb. Throw physic to the dogs ; I '11 none of it. 

Ibid 
I would applaud thee to the very echo, 
That should applaud again. Ibid. 

Hang out our banners on the outward walls ; 

The cry is still, ' They come ' : our castle's strength 

Will laua'h a siege to scorn. Act v. Sc. 5 



100 SHAKESPEARE. 

My fell of hair 
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir 
As life were in 't : I have supped full with horrors. 

Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 5 
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, 
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day 
To the last syllable of recorded time, 
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools 
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle ! 
Life 's but a walking shadow, a poor player 
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage 
And then is heard no more : it is a tale 
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, 
Signifying nothing. ibid, 

I pull in resolution, and begin 

To doubt the equivocation of the fiend 

That lies like truth : ' Fear not, till Birnam wood 

Do come to Dunsinane.' Ibid, 

I gin to be aweary of the sun. Ibid. 

Blow, wind ! come, wrack ! 
At least we ? 11 die with harness on our back. Ibid. 

I bear a charmed life. Act v. Sc.SA 

And be these juggling fiends no more believed, 

That palter with us in a double sense ; 

That keep the word of promise to our ear, 

And break it to our hope. Ibid A 

Live to be the show and gaze o' the time. Ibid. 1

SHAKESPEARE. 101 

For this relief much thanks. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. l. 

But in the gross and scope of my opinion. 

This bodes some strange eruption to our state. Ibid. 

Whose sore task 
Does not divide the Sunday from the week. Ibid. 

This sweaty haste 
Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day. Ibid. 

In the most high and palmy state of Rome, 

A little ere the mightiest Julius fell. 

The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead 

Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets. Ibid. 

And then it started like a guilty thing 

Upon a fearful summons. Ibid. 

Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, 
The extravagant and erring spirit hies 
To his confine. Ibid. 

Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes 

Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, 

The bird of dawning singeth all night long : 

And then, they say. no spirit dares stir l abroad ; 

The nights are wholesome ; then no planets strike, 

No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, 

So hallowed and so gracious is the time. Ibid. 

So have I heard and do in part believe it. 

But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, 

Walks o'er the dew of von likdi eastward hill. 2 Ibid

102 SHAKESPEARE. 

With an auspicious and a dropping eye, 1 

With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage, 

In equal scale weighing delight and dole. 

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2. 

The head is not more native to the heart. Ibid. 

A little more than kin, and less than kind. Ibid. 

All that lives must die, 
Passing through nature to eternity. Ibid. 

Seems, madam ! nay, it is ; I know not ' seems.' Ibid. 

'T is not alone my inky cloak, good mother, 

Nor customary suits of solemn black. Ibid. 

But I have that within which passeth show ; 

These but the trappings and the suits of woe. Ibid. 

5 T is a fault to heaven, 
A fault against the dead, a fault to nature, 
To reason most absurd. Ibid. 

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, 

Thaw and resolve itself into a dew ! 

Or that the Everlasting had not fixed 

His canon 'gainst self -slaughter ! O God ! God ! 

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable 

Seem to me all the uses of this world ! Ibid. 

That it should come to this ! Ibid. 

Hyperion to a satyr ; so loving to my mother 

That he might not beteem the winds of heaven 

Visit her face too roughly. Ibid. 

Why, she would hang on him, 
As if increase of appetite had grown 
By what it fed on. Ibid. 

1 'one auspicious and one dropping eye,' Dyce, Singer, Staunton. 



SHAKESPEARE. 103 

Frailty, thy name is woman ! Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2= 

A little month. Ibid. 

Like Niobe, all tears. Ibid. 

A beast, that wants discourse of reason. Ibid. 

My father's brother, but no more like my father 

Than I to Hercules. Ibid. 

It is not nor it cannot come to good. Ibid. 

Thrift, thrift, Horatio ! the funeral baked meats 
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables. 
Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven 

Or ever I had seen that day. Ibid. 

In my mind's eye, Horatio. Ibid. 

He was a man, take him for all in all, 

I shall not look upon his like again. Ibid. 

Season your admiration for a while. Ibid. 

In the dead vast and middle of the night. Ibid. 

Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe. 1 ibid. 

A countenance more in sorrow than in anger. Ibid. 

While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred. 

Ibid. 

Ham. His beard was grizzled, — no ? 

Hot. It was, as I have seen it in his life, 

A sable silvered. Ibid. 

Let it be tenable in your silence still. Ibid. 

Give it an understanding, but no tongue. Ibid. 

Lpon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve. Ibid,

104 SHAKESPEARE. 

Foul deeds will rise, 
Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes. 

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2. 
A violet in the youth of primy nature, 
Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting, 
The perfume and suppliance of a minute. Act i. Sc. 3. 

The chariest maid is prodigal enough, 

If she unmask her beauty to the moon : 

Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes : 

The canker galls the infants of the spring, 

Too oft before their buttons be disclosed, 

And in the morn and liquid dew of youth 

Contagious blastments are most imminent. Ibid. 

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, 

Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven ; 

Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine, 

Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, 

And recks not his own rede. ibid. 

Give thy thoughts no tongue. ibid. 

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. 
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, 
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops l of steel. Ibid. 

Beware 
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, 
Bear 't that the opposed may beware of thee. 
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice ; 
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. 
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, 
But not expressed in fancy ; rich, not gaudy ; 
For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Ibid* 

1 'hooks,' Singer. 



SHAKESPEARE. 105 

Neither a borrower nor a lender be ; 

For loan oft loses both itself and friend. 
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. 
This above all : to thine own self be true. 
And it must follow, as the night the day. 
Thou canst not then be false to any man. 

Hamlet, Act i. Sc. 3. 
Springes to catch woodcocks. Ibid. 

When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul 

Lends the tongue vows. Hid, 

Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence. Ibid. 

Ham. The air bites shrewdly ; it is very cold. 

Hot. It is a nipping and an eager air. Act i. Sc. 4. 

But to my mind, though I am native here 

And to the manner born, it is a custom 

More honoured in the breach than the observance. Ibid 

Angels and ministers- of grace, defend us ! 

Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damned. 

Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell. 

Be thy intents wicked or charitable. 

Thou comest in such a questionable shape. 

That I will speak to thee : I '11 call thee Hamlet, 

King, father, royal Dane : 0. answer me ! 

Let me not burst in ignorance ; but tell 

Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death. 

Have burst their cerements ; why the sepulchre, 

Wherein we saw thee quietly inurned. 

Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws, 

To cast thee up again. What may this mean. 

That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel 

Revisit' st thus the glimpses of the moon, 

Making night hideous : and we fools of nature 



106 SHAKESPEARE. 

So horridly to shake our disposition 

With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls ? 

Hamlet, Act i. Sc. 4. 

I do not set my life at a pin's fee. Ibid. 

My fate cries out, 
And makes each petty artery in this body 
As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve. Ibid. 

Unhand me, gentlemen. 

By heaven, I '11 make a ghost of him that lets me ! 

Ibid. 

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Ibid. 

I am thy father's spirit, 
Doomed for a certain term to walk the night, 
And for the day confined to fast in fires, 1 
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature 
Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid 
To tell the secrets of my prison-house, 
I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word 
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, 
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, 
Thy knotted and combined locks to part 
And each particular hair to stand an end, 
Like quills ujdoii the fretful porpentine : 2 
But this eternal blazon must not be 
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list ! 

Act i. Sc. 5, 
And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed 
That roots itself 3 in ease on Lethe wharf. Ibid.

Hamlet, what a falling-off was there ! 

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 5. 
But soft ! methinks I scent the morning air ; 
Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard, 
My custom always of the afternoon. Ibid, 

Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, 

Unhouselled, disappointed, unaneled, 

No reckoning made, but sent to my account 

With all my imperfections on my head. Ibid. 

Leave her to heaven 
And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, 
To prick and sting her. Ibid. 

The glow-worm shows the matin to be near, 

And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire. Ibid. 

While memory holds a seat 
In this distracted globe. Remember thee ! 
Yea, from the table of my memory 
1 11 wipe away all trivial fond records. Ibid. 

Within the book and volume of my brain. Ibid. 

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain ! 

My tables, — meet it is I set it down, 

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain 

At least I 'm sure it may be so in Denmark. Ibid. 

Ham. There 's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Den- 
mark 
But he 's an arrant knave. 

Hor. There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the 
grave 
To tell us this. Ibid. 

Every man has business and desire, 
Such as it is. Ibid. 



108 SHAKESPEARE. 

Art thou there, truepenny ? 
Come on — you hear this fellow in the cellarage. 

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 5. 
day and night, but this is wondrous strange ! Ibid. 

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, 
Than are dreamt of in your x philosophy. Ibid. 

Rest, rest, perturbed spirit ! Ibid. 

The time is out of joint : O cursed spite, 

That ever I was born to set it right ! Ibid. 

The flash and outbreak of a fiery mind, 

A savageness in unreclaimed blood. Act ii. Sc 1. 

This is the very ecstasy of love. Ibid. 

Brevity is the soul of wit. Act ii. Sc 2. 

More matter, with less art. Ibid. 

That he is mad, 't is true : 't is true 't is pity ; 

And pity 't is 'tis true. Ibid. 

Find out the cause of this effect, 
Or rather say, the cause of this defect, 
For this effect defective comes by cause. Ibid. 

Doubt thou the stars are fire ; 

Doubt that the sun doth move ; 
Doubt truth to be a liar ; 

But never doubt I love. Ibid. 

Still harping on my daughter. Ibid. 

Pol. What do you read, my lord ? 

Ham. Words, words, words. Ibid 

They have a plentiful lack of wit. Ibid.

SHAKESPEARE. 109 

Though this be madness, ret there is method in ? t. 

Hamlet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 
On fortune's cap we are not the very button. Ibid. 

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking 
makes it so. Ibid. 

Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks. Ibid. 

This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile 
promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look 
you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical 
roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other 
thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of 
vapours. "What a piece of work is a man ! how noble 
in reason ! how infinite in faculty ! in form and mov- 
ing how express and admirable ! in action how like an 
angel ! in apprehension how like a god ! Ibid. 

Man delights not me : no, nor woman neither. Ibid. 

I know a hawk from a handsaw. Ibid. 

Jephthah. judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst 
thou ! Ibid. 

One fair daughter, and no more. 

The which he loved passing well. Ibid. 

Come, give us a taste of your quality. Ibid. 

The play, I remember, pleased not the million ; 
't was caviare to the general. Ibid. 

They are the abstract and brief chronicles of the 
time : after your death you were better have a bad 
epitaph than their ill report while you live. Ibid. 

Use every man after his desert, and who should 
'scape whipping ? Ibid- 



110 SHAKESPEARE. 

What 's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, 

That he should weep for her? Hamlet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 

Unpack my heart with words, 
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab. Ibid. 

For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak 
With most miraculous organ. 1 Ibid. 

The devil hath power 
To assume a pleasing shape. Ibid. 

Abuses me to damn me. Ibid. 

The play 's the thing 
Wherein I '11 catch the conscience of the king. Ibid. 

With devotion's visage 
And pious action we do sugar o'er 
The devil himself. Act iii. Sc. l. 

To be, or not to be : that is the question : 
Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
And by opposing end them ? To die : to sleep ; 
No more ; and by a sleep to say we end 
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks 
That flesh is heir to, 't is a consummation 
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep ; 
To sleep : • perchance to dream : ay, there 's the rub ; 
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come 
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 
Must give us pause : there 's the respect 
That makes calamity of so long life ; 
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 

1 See Chaucer. Page 3. 



SHAKESPEARE. Ill 

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, 

The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, 

The insolence of office and the spurns 

That patient merit of the unworthy takes, 

When he himself might his quietus make 

With a bare bodkin ? who would fardels 1 bear, 

To grunt and sweat under a weary life. 

But that the dread of something after death, 

The undiscovered country from whose bourn 

No traveller returns, puzzles the will 

And makes us rather bear those ills we have 

Than fly to others that we know not of ? 

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all ; 

And thus the native hue of resolution 

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, 

And enterprises of great pith and moment, 

With this regard their currents turn awry, 

And lose the name of action. Samlet. Act iii. Sc. i. 

Nymph, in thy orisons 
Be all my sins remembered. Ibid. 

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. ibid. 

I am myself indifferent honest. Ibid. 

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt 
not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go. Ibid. 

I have heard of your paintings too, well enough ; 
God has given you one face, and you make yourselves 
another. Ibid.

112 SHAKESPEARE. 

The expectancy and rose of the fair state, 

The glass of fashion and the mould of form, 

The observed of all observers ! Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 1 

Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, 

Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh. Ibid 

0, woe is me, 
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see ! Ibid. 

Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, 
thus, but use all gently ; for in the very torrent, 
tempest, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of passion, 
you must acquire and beget a temperance that may 
give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the soul to 
hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion 
to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the ground- 
lings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but 
inexplicable dumb-shows and noise : I would have such 
a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant ; it out- 
herods Herod. Act iii. Sc. 2. 

Suit the action to the word, the word to the action ; 
with this special observance, that you o'erstep not the 
modesty of nature. Ibid. 

To hold, as 't were, the mirror up to nature. Ibid. 

The very age and body of the time his form and 
pressure. Ibid. 

Though it make the unskilful laugh, cannot but 
make the judicious grieve. Ibid. 

Not to speak it profanely. Ibid. 

I have thought some of nature's journeymen had 
made men and not made them well, they imitated 
humanity so abominably. J bid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 113 

First Play. We have reformed that indifferently 
with us, sir. 

Ham. O, reform it altogether. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 2. 

Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man 

As e'er my conversation coped withal. Ibid. 

No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, 

And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee 

Where thrift may follow fawning. Ibid. 

A man that fortune's buffets and rewards 

Hast ta'en with equal thanks. Ibid 

They are not a pipe for fortune's finger 
To sound what stop she please. Give me that man 
That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him 
In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, 
As I do thee. — Something too much of this. Ibid. 

And my imaginations are as foul 

As Yulcan's stithy. Ibid. 

Here 's metal more attractive. Ibid. 

Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I '11 have a 
suit of sables. Ibid. 

There 's hope a great man's memory may outlive 
his life half a year. Ibid. 

For, 0, for. O, the hobby-horse is forgot. Ibid. 

This is miching mallecho ; it means mischief. Ibid. 

Ham. Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring ? 

Oph. 'T is brief, my lord. 

Ham. As woman's love. Ibid. 

Our wills and fates do so contrary run 

That our devices still are overthrown. Ibid.

Why, let the stricken deer go weep, 

The hart ungalled play ; 
For some must watch, while some must sleep : 

So runs the world away. Ibid. 

'T is as easy as lying. ibid. 

It will discourse most eloquent music. Ibid. 

Pluck out the heart of my mystery. Ibid. 

Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe ? 

Ibid. 

Ham. Do you see yonder cloud that 's almost in 
shape of a camel ? 

Pol. By the mass, and 't is like a camel, indeed. 

Ham. Methinks it is like a weasel. 

Pol. It is backed like a weasel. 

Ham. Or like a whale ? 

Pol. Very like a whale. Ibid. 

They fool me to the top of my bent. Ibid. 

By and by is easily said. Ibid. 

'T is now the very witching time of night, 

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out 

Contagion to this world. Ibid

See, what a grace was seated on this brow ; 

Hyperion's curls ; the front of Jove himself ; 

An eye like Mars, to threaten and command ; 

A station like the herald Mercury 

New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill ; 

A combination and a form indeed, 

Where every god did seem to set his seal, 

To give the world assurance of a man. Ibid. 

At your age 
The hey-day in the blood is tame, it ? s humble. Ibid. 



116 SHAKESPEARE. 

O shame ! where is thy blush ? Rebellious hell, 

If thou canst mutine in a matron's bones, 

To flaming youth let virtue be as wax, 

And melt in her own fire : proclaim no shame 

When the compulsive ardour gives the charge, 

Since frost itself as actively doth burn 

And reason panders will. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 4 

A cutpurse of the empire and the rule, 

That from a shelf the precious diadem stole, 

And put it in his pocket ! Ibid. 

A king of shreds and patches. Ibid. 

Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works. Ibid. 

How is 't with you, 
That you do bend your eye on vacancy ? Ibid. 

This is the very coinage of your brain : 

This bodiless creation ecstasy 

Is very cunning in. Ibid. 

Bring me to the test, 
And I the matter will re-word ; which madness 
Would gambol from. Mother, for love of grace, 
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul. Ibid. 

Confess yourself to heaven ; 
Repent what 's past ; avoid what is to come. Ibid. 

Assume a virtue, if you have it not. 

That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat, 

Of habits devil, is angel yet in this. Ibid 

Refrain to-night, 
And that shall lend a kind of easiness 
To the next abstinence : the next more easy ; 
For use almost can change the stamp of nature. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 117 

I must be cruel, only to be kind : 

Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.

Hoist with his own petar. . ibid. 

Diseases desperate grown 
By desperate appliance are relieved, 
Or not at all. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a 
king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. 

II Id. 
Sure, he that made us with such large discourse. 

Looking before and after, gave us not 

That capability and godlike reason 

To fust in us unused. Act iv. Sc. ±. 

Rightly to be great 
Is not to stir without great argument. 
But greatly to find quarrel in a straw 
AV hen honour 's at the stake. Ibid. 

So full of artless jealousy is guilt. 

It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. Act iv. Sc. 5. 

AVe know what we are, but know not what we may be. 

"ibid. 
Then up he rose, and donned his clothes. Ibid. 

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, 

But in battalions. ibid. 

There 's such divinity doth hedge a king, 

That treason can but peep to what it would. Ibid. 

Nature is fine in love, and where 't is fine, 

It sends some precious instance of itself 

After the thino- it loves- Ibid.

There 's rosemary, that 's for remembrance ; . . . . 
and there is pansies, that 's for thoughts.

You must wear your rue with a difference. There 's 
a daisy : I would give you some violets, but they with- 
ered. Ibid.

All flaxen was his poll. Ibid. 

A very riband in the cap of youth. Act iv. Sc. 7. 

That we would do, 
We should do when we would. Ibid. 

One woe doth tread upon another's heel, 

So fast they follow. Ibid. 

Nature her custom holds, 
Let shame say what it will. Ibid. 

1 Olo. Argal, he that is not guilty of his own death

The hand of little employment hath the daintier sense.

One that was a woman, sir ; but, rest her soul, she 's 
dead. Ibid. 

How absolute the knave is ! we must speak by the 
card, or equivocation will undo us. Ibid. 



SHAKESPEARE. 119 

The age is grown so picked that the toe of the 
peasant comes so near the heel of the courtier, he galls 
his kibe. Hamlet. Act v. Sc. 1. 

Alas, ipoor Yorick ! I knew him, Horatio : a fel- 
low of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy : he hath 
borne me on his back a thousand times ; and now, 
how abhorred in my imagination it is ! my gorge rises 
at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know 
not how oft. Where be your gibes now ? your gam- 
bols ? your songs ? your flashes of merriment, that 
were wont to set the table on a roar ? Not one now, 
to mock your own grinning ? quite chap-fallen ? Now 
get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her 
paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come. Ibid. 

To what base uses we may return, Horatio ! Why 
may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, 
till he find it stopping a bung-hole ? Ibid. 

'T were to consider too curiously, to consider so. Ibid. 

Imperious Caesar, dead and turned to clay, 

Might stop a hole to keep the wind away. Ibid. 

Lay her i' the earth : 
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh 
May violets spring ! Ibid. 

A ministering angel shall my sister be. Ibid. 

Sweets to the sweet : farewell ! Ibid. 

I thought thy bride-bed to have decked, sweet maid, 
And not have strewed thy grave. Ibid. 

Though I am not splenitive and rash, 
Yet have I something in me dangerous. Ibid. 



120 SHAKESPEARE. 

Forty thousand brothers 
Could not, with all their quantity of love, 
Make up my sum. Hamlet. Act v. Sc. 1. 

Nay, an thou r lt mouth,

Let Hercules himself do w r hat he may, 

The cat will mew and dog will have his day. Ibid. 

There 's a divinity that shapes our ends, 

Rough-hew them how we will. Act v. Sc. 2. 

I once did hold it, as our statists do, 

A baseness to write fair. Ibid. 

It did me yeoman's service. Ibid. 

The bravery of his grief did put me 
Into a towering passion. Ibid. 

What imports the nomination of this gentleman ? Ibid. 

The phrase would be more german to the matter, if 
we could carry cannon by our sides. J bid. 

'T is the breathing time of day with me. Ibid. 

There- 's a special providence in the fall of a spar- 
row. If it be now, 't is not to come ; if it be not to 
come, it will be now ; if it be not now, yet it will come : 
the readiness is all : since no man has aught of what 
he leaves, what is 't to leave betimes ? ibid. 

I have shot mine arrow o'er the house, 
And hurt my brother. Ibid. 

Now the king drinks to Hamlet. Ibid. 

A hit, a very palpable hit. Ibid

124 SHAKESPEARE. 

A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. 
Look with thine ears : see how yond justice rails upon 
yond simple thief. Hark, in thine ear : change places ; 
and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the 
thief ? King Lear. Act iv. Sc. 6. 

Through tattered clothes small vices do ajDpear ; 
Robes and furred gowns hide all. ibid. 

Mine enemy's dog, 
Though he had bit me, should have stood that night 
Against my fire. Act iv. Sc. 7. 

Upon such sacrifices, my Cordelia, 

The gods themselves throw incense. Act v. Sc. 3. 

The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices 

Make instruments to plague us. Ibid.

SHAKESPEARE. 125 

The wealthy curled darlings of our nation. 

Othello. Acti. Sc. 2. 
Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors, 
My very noble and approved good masters, 
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter, 
It is most true ; true, I have married her : 
The very head and front of my offending 
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech, 1 
And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace : 
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith, 
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used 
Their dearest action in the tented field, 
And little of this great world can I speak, 
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle, 
And therefore little shall I grace my cause 
In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious pa- 
tience, 
I will a round unvarnished tale deliver 
Of my whole course of love. Act i. Sc. 3, 

Her father loved me ; oft invited me ; 

Still questioned me the story of my life, 

From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, 

That I have passed. 

I ran it through, even from my boyish days, 

To the very moment that he bade me tell it ; 

TVherein I spake of most disastrous chances, 

Of moving accidents by flood and field, 

Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach, 

Of being taken by the insolent foe 

And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence 

And portance in my travels' history : 

Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle, 

1 Though I be rude in speech. — 2 Cor. xi. 6. 



126 SHAKESPEARE. 

Rough quarries, rocks and hills whose heads touch 

heaven, 
It was my hint to speak, — such was the process 5 
And of the Cannibals that each other eat, 
The Anthropophagi and men whose heads 
Do grow beneath their shoulders. This to hear 1 
Would Desdemona seriously incline. Othello, Acti.Sc.3. 

And often did beguile her of her tears, 

When I did speak of some distressful stroke 

That my youth suffered. My story being done, 

She gave me for my pains a world of sighs : 

She swore, in faith, 't was strange, 't was passing 

strange, 
'T was pitiful, 't was wondrous pitiful : 
She wished she had not heard it, yet she wished 
That heaven had made her such a man : she thanked 

me, 
And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her, 
I should but teach him how to tell my story, 
And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake : 
She loved me for the dangers I had passed, 
And I loved her that she did pity them. 
This only is the witchcraft I have used. Ibid 

I do perceive here a divided duty. Ibid. 

The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief. 

Ibid. 
The tyrant custom, most grave senators, 

Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war 

My thrice-driven bed of down. Ibid. 

I saw Othello's visage in his mind. Ibid. 

Put money in thy purse. Ibid.

His breeches cost him but a crown ; 

He held them sixpence all too dear, 

With that he called the tailor lown. 1 Ibid. 

Silence that dreadful bell : it frights the isle 

From her propriety. Ibid. 

Your name is great 
In mouths of wisest censure. Ibid,

Excellent wretch ! " Perdition catch my soul, 

But I do love thee ! and when I love thee not, 

Chaos is come apjain. 1 Act iii. Sc. 3.

Speak to me as to thy thinkings, 
As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts 
The worst of words. Ibid. 

Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, 

Is the immediate jewel of their souls : 

Who steals my purse steals trash ; 't is something, 

nothing ; 
'T was mine, 't is his, and has been slave to thousands ; 
But he that niches from me my good name 
Hobs me of that which not enriches him 
And makes me poor indeed. Ibid. 

1 For he being dead, with him is beauty slain, 

And, beauty dead, black chaos comes again. — Venus and Adonis,

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy ; 
It is the green-eyed monster which cloth mock

Farewell the tranquil mind ! farewell content ! 
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars, 
That make ambition virtue ! 0, farewell ! 
Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump, 
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, 
The royal banner, and all quality, 
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war ! 
And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats 
The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit,

When you wander, as you often delight to do, you 
wander indeed, and give never such satisfaction as the 
curious time requires. This is not caused by any nat-

having a large and fruitful mind, should not so much 
labour what to speak, as to find what to leave un- 
spoken. Rich soils are often to be weeded.

larger or narrower, so is Equity. 'T is all one as if

As they draw near to their eternal home. 

Verses upon his Divine Poesy 

Under the tropic is our language spoke, 
And part of Flanders hath received our yoke. 

Upon the Death of the Lord Protector 

A narrow compass ! and yet there 

Dwelt all that 's good, and all that 's fair : 

Give me but what this riband bound, 

Take all the rest the sun goes round. On a Girdle. 

And keeps that palace of the soul. 2 Of Tea. 

Go, lovely rose ! 
Tell her that wastes her time and me 

That now she knows, 
When I resemble her to thee, 
How sweet and fair she seems to be. Go, lovely Rose.

That are so wondrous sweet and fair ! Hid. 

Illustrious acts high raptures do infuse, 
And every conqueror creates a muse.

So in the Libyan fable it is told 
That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, 
Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft, 
" With our own feathers, not by other's hands, 
Are we now smitten. 1 ' 

xEschylus, Fragm. 123, Plumptre's Translation. 
So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain, 
No more through rolling clouds to soar again, 
Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart, 
And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart. 

Byron, English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, Line 826. 

Like a young eagle, who has lent his plume 
To fledge the shaft by which he meets his doom, 
See their own feathers plucked, to wing the dart 
Which rank corruption destines for their heart.

After soft showers ; and sweet the coming on 

Of grateful evening mild ; then silent night

And these the gems of heaven, her starry train : 

But neither breath of morn when she ascends 

With charm of earliest birds, nor rising sun

Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill ; 
Joyous the birds ; fresh gales and gentle airs 
Whispered it to the woods, and from their wings 
Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub. Line 508,

Till oft converse with heavenly habitants

He was very shy of using it. Line 45* 

Beside, 't is known he could speak Greek 

As naturally as pigs squeak ; 

That Latin was no more difficile 

Than to a blackbird 't is to whistle. Line 51. 

He could distinguish, and divide 

A hair, 'twixt south and southwest side. Line 67-

Fought all his battles o'er again ; 

And thrice he routed all his foes ; and thrice he slew 
the slain. Line 66. 

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, 
Fallen from his high estate, 

And weltering in his blood ; 
Deserted, at his utmost need,

With not a friend to close his eyes. Line 77. 

For pity melts the mind to love. Line 96. 

Softly sweet, in Lydian measures, 
Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures.

2 Our author, foi the advantage of this play (Appius and Vir- 
ginia), had invented a new species of thunder, which was approved 
of by the actors, and is the very sort that at present is used in the 
theatre. The tragedy, however, was coldly received, notwithstand- 
ing such assistance, and was acted but a short time. Some nights 
after, Mr. Dennis, being in the pit at the representation of Macbeth, 
heard his own thunder made use of; upon which he rose in a violent 
passion, and exclaimed, with an oath, that it was his thunder. 
" See," said he, '* how the rascals use me ! They will not let my play 
run, and vet thev steal mv thunder." — Biog. Britannica, Vol. v.

ADDISON. 249 



JOSEPH ADDISOX. 1672-1719. 

The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers, 

And heavily in clouds brings on the day, 

The great, the important day, big with the fate 

Of Cato, and of Rome. Cato. Act I Sc. l 

Thy steady temper, Portius, 
Can look on guilt, rebellion, fraud, and Caesar, 
In the calm lights of mild philosophy. Ibid. 

'T is not in mortals to command success, 

But we '11 do more, Sempronius ; we '11 deserve it. 

Act i. Sc. 2. 

Blesses his stars and thinks it luxury. Act i. Sc. 4. 

'T is pride, rank pride, and haughtiness of soul ; 

I think the Romans call it stoicism. Ibid. 

Were you with these, my prince, you 'd soon forget 
The pale, unripened beauties of the north. Ibid. 

Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, 

Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense. 

The virtuous Marcia towers above her sex. Ibid. 

My voice is still for war. 
Gods ! can a Roman senate long debate 
Which of the two to choose, slavery or death ? 

Act ii. Sc. 1. 
A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty 
Is worth a whole eternity in bondage. Ibid. 

The woman that deliberates is lost. Act iv. Sc. 1 

Curse all his virtues ! they 've undone his country. 

Act iv. Sc. 4. 



250 ADDISON. 

What a pity is it 
That we can die but once to save our country ! 

Cato. Act iv. Sc. 4, 

When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway, 
The post of honour is a private station. Ibid. 

It must be so, — Plato, thou reasonest well ! — 

Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, 

This longing after immortality ? 

Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror, 

Of falling into naught ? Why shrinks the soul 

Back on herself, and startles at destruction ? 

'T is the divinity that stirs within us ; 

'T is heaven itself that points out an hereafter, 

And intimates eternity to man. 

Eternity ! thou pleasing, dreadful thought ! Act v. Sc h 

I'm weary of conjectures, — this must end 'em. 

Thus am I doubly armed : my death and life, 

My bane and antidote, are both before me : 

This in a moment brings me to an end ; 

But this informs me I shall never die. 

The soul, secured in her existence, smiles 

At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. 

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself 

Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, 

But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, 1 

Unhurt amidst the war of elements, 

The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds. Ibid. 

From hence, let fierce contending nations know 
What dire effects from civil discord flow. Act v. Sc 4. 

1 Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, 
and flourishing in an immortal youth. — Isaac Barrow (1630-1677), 
Duty of Thanksgiving, Works, Vol. i. p. 66. 



ADDISON. 251 

For whereso'er I turn my ravished eyes, 
Gay gilded scenes and shining prospects rise, 
Poetic fields encompass me around, 
And still I seem to tread on classic ground. 1 

A Letter from Italy. 
Unbounded courage and compassion joined, 
Tempering each other in the victor's mind,

And make the hero and the man complete.

Line ult. 
The spacious firmament on high, 
With all the blue ethereal sky, 
And spangled heavens, a shining frame, 
Their great Original proclaim. Ode. 

Soon as the evening shades prevail, 

The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 

And nightly to the listening earth 

Repeats the story of her birth ; 

While all the stars that round her burn, 

And all the planets in their turn, 

Confirm the tidings as they roll, 

And spread the truth from pole to pole. Ibid. 

For ever singing, as they shine, 

The hand that made us is divine. Ibid. 

1 Malone states that this was the first time the phrase "classic 
ground,' ' since so common, was ever used. 

2 This line is frequently ascribed to Pope, as it is found in the 
Dunciad, Booh iii. Line 264. 

3 He best can paint them who shall feel them most.

greater benefit. — Rochefoucauld, Maxim 298.

A flower, when offered in the bud, 

Is no vain sacrifice. Song xii

Let dogs delight to bark and bite, 

For God hath made them so ; 
Let bears and lions growl and fight,

But, children, you should never let 

Such angry passions rise ; 
Your little hands were never made 

To tear each other's eyes. Ibid. 

Birds in their little nests agree ; 

And 't is a shameful sight 
When children of one family 

Fall out, and chide, and fight. Song xvii.

Think naught a trifle, though it small appear ; 
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,

ALEXANDER POPE. 1688-1744. 

Awake, my St. John ! leave all meaner things 
To low ambition, and the pride of kings. 
Let ns (since life can little more supply 
Than just to look about us, and to die) 
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man ; 
A mighty maze ! but not without a plan. 

Essay on Man. Epistle i. Line 1. 

Together let us beat this ample field, 

Try w T hat the open, what the covert yield. Line 9. 

Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, 

And catch the manners living as they rise ; 

Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, 

But vindicate the ways of God to man. 1 Line 13. 

What can we reason but from what we know ? Line 18. 

Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate. 

Line 77. 

Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, 

And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood. 

Line 83. 

Wlio sees with equal eye, as God of all, 

A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, 

Atoms or systems into ruin hurled, 

A.nd now a bubble burst, and now a world. Line 87. 

Hope springs eternal in the human breast : 

Man never is, but always to be blest. 

The soul, uneasy, and confined from home, 

Rests and expatiates in a life to come. Line 95.

All nature is but art, unknown to thee ; 

All chance, direction which thou canst not see 5

One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right. 1

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan ;

Chaos of thought and passion, all confused ; 

Still by himself abused or disabused ; 

Created half to rise, and half to fall ; 

Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all ; 

Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled ; 

The glory, jest, and riddle of the world ! 3 Line 13. 

Fixed like a plant on his peculiar spot, 

To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot. Line 63.

Virtuous and vicious every man must be, 

Few in the extreme, but all in the degree. Line 231 

Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, 

Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw : 

Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, 

A little louder, but as empty quite ; 

Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage, 

And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age,

influence of example. Life of Milton.

If I were an American, as I am an Englishman,

never would lay down my arms, never — never — 
never. Speech, Nov. 18, 1777. 

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to 
all the force of the Crown. It may be frail ; its roof 
may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms 
may enter, the rain may enter, — but the r King of 
England cannot enter ! all his forces dare not cross 
the threshold of the ruined tenement. 1

And the gay grandsire, skilled in gestic lore.

Methinks her patient sons before me stand,

That bliss which only centres in the mind. Line 423.

840 GOLDSMITH. 

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, 
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. 
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade, 
A breath can make them as a breath has made ; * 
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, 
When once destroyed, can never be supplied. 

The Deserted Village. Line 51 

His best companions, innocence and health, 

And his best riches, ignorance of wealth. Line 61. 

How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these, 

A youth of labour with an age of ease ! Line 99. 

While Resignation gently slopes away, — 

And, all his prospects brightening to the last, 

His Heaven commences ere the world be jDast. Line 110. 

The watch-dog's voice that bayed the whispering wind, 
And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind. Line 121. 

A man he was to all the country dear, 

And passing rich with forty pounds a year. Line 141. 

Wept o'er his wounds, or, tales of sorrow done, 

Shouldered his crutch and showed how fields were won. 

Line 157. 
Careless their merits or their faults to scan, 

His pity gave ere charity began. 

Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, 

And even his failings leaned to Virtue's side. Line 161. 

And, as a bird each fond endearment tries 

To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, 

He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, 

Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. Line 167.

Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway,

Even children followed with endearing wile, 
And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile. 

Line 183. 
As some tall cliff, that lifts its awful form, 
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm, 
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread. 
Eternal sunshine settles on its head. Line 189. 

"Well had the boding tremblers learned to trace 

The day's disasters in his morning face ; 

Full well they laughed, with counterfeited glee, 

At all his jokes, for many a joke had he ; 

Full well the busy whisper, circling round, 

Conveyed the dismal tidings when he frowned ; 

Yet was he kind, or, if severe in aught, 

The love he bore to learning was in fault. Line 199. 

In arguing, too, the parson owned his skill, 

For e'en though vanquished, he could argue still ; 

While words of learned length and thundering sound 

Amazed the gazing rustics ranged around ; 

And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew 

That one small head coidd carry all he knew. Line 211. 

The whitewashed wall, the nicely sanded floor, 
The varnished clock that clicked behind the door, 
The chest contrived a double debt to pay, 
A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day. Line 227. 

To me more dear, congenial to my heart, 

One native charm, than all the gloss of art. Line 253. 

And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy. 

The heart, distrusting, asks if this be joy. Line 263=

Who, born for the universe, narrowed his mind, 
And to party gave up what was meant for mankind : 
Though fraught with all learning, yet straining his 

throat, 
To persuade Tommy Townshend to lend him a vote. 
Who, too deep for his hearers, still went on refining, 
And thought of convincing, while they thought of 

dining : 
Though equal to all things, for all things unfit ; 
Too nice for a statesman, too proud for a wit. Line SI. 

His conduct still right, with his argument wrong.

A Vindication of Natural Society. 1 Preface, Vol. i. p. 7. 

"War," says Machiavel, "ought to be the only 
study of a prince " ; and by a prince he means every 
sort of state, however constituted. " He ought," says 
this great political Doctor, " to consider peace only as 
a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, 
and furnishes ability to execute, military plans." A 
meditation on the conduct of political societies made 
old Hobbes imagine that war was the state of nature.

350 BURKE. 

It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the 
Queen of France, then the Dauphiness, at Versailles ; 
and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly 
seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw 
her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering 
the elevated sphere she just began to move in, — 
glittering like the morning-star, full of life, and splen- 
dour, and joy Little did I dream that I should 

have lived to see such disasters fallen irpon her in 
a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honour 
and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must 
have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a 
look that threatened her with insult. But the age 
of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, 
and calculators has succeeded.

If this bill (for the admission of Orleans Territory as 
a State) passes, it is my deliberate opinion that it is 
virtually a dissolution of the Union ; that it will free 
the States from their moral obligation, and, as it will 
be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some, 
definitely to prepare for a separation, amicably if they 
can, violently if they must. 2

My eyes are dim with childish tears. 
My heart is idly stirred. 
For the same sound is in my ears 
Which in those days I heard.

How beautiful is night ! 
A dewy freshness fills the silent air ; 
No mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain, 
Breaks the serene of heaven : 
In full-orbed glory, yonder moon divine 
Rolls through the dark blue de23ths. 

Beneath her steady ray

Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky.

If you choose to represent the various parts in life 
by holes upon a table, of different shapes, — some 
circular, some triangular, some square, some oblong, 
- — and the persons acting these parts by bits of wood 
of similar shapes, we shall generally find that the tri- 
angular person has got into the square hole, the oblong 
into the triangular, and a square person has squeezed 
himself into the round hole. The officer and the 
office, the doer and the thing done, seldom fit so 
exactly that we can say they were almost made for

Where sin and death abound, 

How beautiful beyond compare 

Will paradise be found ! The Earth full of God's Goodness.

In peace. Love tunes the shepherd's reed ; 

In war, he mounts the warrior's steed ; 

In halls, in gay attire is seen ; 

In hamlets, dances on the green.

For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

True love 's the gift which God has given 
To man alone beneath the heaven : 
It is not fantasy's hot fire, 

Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly ; 
It liveth not in fierce desire, 

With dead desire it doth not die ; 
It is the secret sympathy, 
The silver link, the silken tie, 
Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, 
In body and in soul can bind. 

Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto v. Stanza 13. 

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, 
Who never to himself hath said, 

This is my own, my native land ! 
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned, 
As home his footsteps he hath turned 

From wandering on a foreign strand ? 
If such there breathe, go, mark him well ; 
For him no minstrel raptures swell ; 
High though his titles, proud his name, 
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, — 
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, 
The wretch, concentred all in self, 
Living, shall forfeit fair renown, 
And, doubly dying, shall go down 
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, 
Unwept, unhonoured, and unsung. Canto vi. Stanza 1.

Come, send round the wine. 

The moon looks 
On many brooks, 
" The brook can see no moon but this." l 

While gazing on the moon's light. 

No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, 
But as truly loves on to the close ! 

As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, 
The same look which she turned when he rose. 

Believe me, if all those endearing,

occurs somewhere in Sir William Jones's Works: "The moon looks 
upon many night-flowers, the night-flower sees but one moon."

And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, 
The maiden herself will steal after it soon. Ill Omens. 

But there 's nothing half so sweet in life 

As love's young dream. Love's Young Dream. 

Eyes of unholy blue. By that lake. 

To live with them is far less sweet 

Than to remember thee ! x I saw thy form. 

'T is the last rose of summer, 

Left blooming alone. Last Rose of Summer. 

When true hearts lie withered 

And fond ones are flown, 
Ob ! who would inhabit 

This bleak world alone ? Ibid.

To lengthen our days 
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear !

You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, 
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. 

Farewell! But whenever you welcome the hour 

Thus, when the lamp that lighted 

The traveller at first goes out, 
He feels awhile benighted, 

And looks around in fear and doubt. 
But soon, the prospect clearing, 

By cloudless starlight on he treads, 
And thinks no lamp so cheering 

As that light which heaven sheds. I'd mourn the hopes. 

1 In imitation of Shenstone's inscription, "Heu! quanto minus 
est cum reliquis versari quam tui meminisse." 



MOORE. 459 

So eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us, 

All earth forgot, and all heaven around us. 

Come o'er the sea. 
The light that lies 
In woman's eyes. The time I've lost. 

My only books 
Were woman's looks, 
And folly 's all they 've taught me. Ibid. 

I know not, I ask not, if guilt 's in that heart, 
I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art. 

Come, rest in this bosom. 
To live and- die in scenes like this, 

With some we 've left behind us. As slow our ship, 

Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free, 
First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea. 

Remember thee. 
All that 's bright must fade, — 

The brightest still the fleetest ; 
All that 's sweet was made 

But to be lost when sweetest ! All that 's bright must fade. 

Those evening bells ! those evening; bells ! 

How many a tale their music tells, 

Of youth, and home, and that sweet time 

When last I heard their soothing chime ! 

Those evening bells. 
As half in shade and half in sun 

This world along its path advances, 
May that side the sun 's upon 

Be all that e'er shall meet thy glances ! 

Peace be around thee, 
If I speak to thee in Friendship's name, 

Thou think'st I speak too coldly ; 
If I mention Love's devoted flame, 

Thou say'st I speak too boldly. How shall I woof 



460 MOORE. 

A friendship that like love is warm, 

A love like friendship steady. How shall I wool 

Oft in the stilly night, 

Ere Slumber's chain has bound me, 
Fond Memory brings the light 
Of other days around me ; 

The smiles, the tears, 

Of boyhood's years, 
The words of love then spoken ; 

The eyes that shone 

Now dimmed and gone, 
The cheerful hearts now broken ! Oft in the stilly night, 

I feel like one 

Who treads alone 
Some banquet-hall deserted, 

Whose lights are fled, 

Whose garlands dead, 
And all but he departed ! Ibid, 

O, call it by some better name, 

For Friendship sounds too cold. 

0, call it by some better name. 

When twilight dews are falling soft 

Upon the rosy sea, love, 
I watch the star whose beam so oft 

Has lighted me to thee, love. When twilight dews. 

To sigh, yet feel no pain, 

To weep, yet scarce know why ; 
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain, 

Then throw it idly by. The Blue Storting. 

Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea ! 
Jehovah has triumphed, — his people are free. 

Sound the loud timbrel. 



MOORE. 461 

This world is all a fleeting show, 

For man's illusion given ; 
The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, 

Deceitful shine, deceitful now, — 
There 's nothing true but Heaven ! 

This world is all a fleeting show. 

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish : 
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 

Come, ye disconsolate.

Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.

Above the green elms, that a cottage was near, 
And I said, " If there 's peace to be found in the world, 
A heart that was humble might hope for it here."

We wish that this column, rising towards heaven 
among the pointed spires of so many temples dedicated 
to God. may contribute also to produce, in all minds, a 
pious feeling of dependence and gratitude. We wish, 
finally, that the last object to the sight of him who 
leaves his native shore, and the first to gladden his who 
revisits it. may be something which shall remind him 
of the liberty and the glory of his country. Let it 
rise ! let it rise, till it meet the sun in his coming ; let 
the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the parting 
day linger and play on its summit.

The stately homes of England ! 

How beautiful they stand,

The breaking waves dashed high 

On a stern and rock-bound coast ; 
And the woods against a stormy sky 

Their giant branches tossed.

LORD BROUGHAM. 1779-1868. 

Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do 
nothing in this age. There is another personage, a 
personage less imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps 
insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad, and I trust 
to him, armed with his primer, against the soldier in 
full military array. Speech, Jan. 29, 1828. 

In my mind, he was guilty of no error, he was charge- 
able with no exaggeration, he was betrayed by his 
fancy into no metaphor, who once said, that all we see 
about us, kings, lords, and commons, the whole ma- 
chinery of the state, all the apparatus of the system, 
and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve 
good men into a box. Present State of the Law, Feb. 7, 1828.

Unfurled her standard to the air,

Come when the blessed seals 
That close the pestilence are broke, 
And crowded cities wail its stroke ; 
Come in consumption's ghastly form, 
The earthquake shock, the ocean storm ; 
Come when the heart beats high and warm, 

With banquet song, and dance, and wine ; 
And thou art terrible, — the tear, 
The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, 
And all we know, or dream, or fear 

Of agony are thine. Ibid.

516 BRYANT. — PEKCIVAL. 

The stormy March has come at last, 

TTith winds and clouds and changing skies ; 

I hear the rushing of the blast 

That through the snowy valley flies. March. 

But 'neath yon crimson tree, 
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame, 
Xor mark, within its roseate canopy, 

Her blush of maiden shame. Autumn Woods, 

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, 

Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows 

brown and sear. The Death of the Flowers. 

And sighs to find them in the wood and by the stream 
no more. Ibid. 

Loveliest of lovely things are they 
On earth that soonest pass away. 
The rose that lives its little hour 
Is prized beyond the sculptured flower. 

A Scene on the Banks of the Hudson. 
The victory of endurance born. The Battle- Field. 

Truth crushed to earth shall rise again : 

The eternal years of God are hers ; 
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain, 

And dies among his worshippers. Ibid.

Wherever literature consoles sorrow, or assuages 
pain, — wherever it brings gladness to eyes which fail 
with wakefulness and tears, and ache for the dark 
house and the long sleep, — there is exhibited, in its 
noblest form, the immortal influence of Athens.

Nobles by the right of an earlier creation, and priests

He had a head which statuaries loved to copy, and 
a foot the deformity of which the beggars in the streets 

mimicked. On Moore's Life of Lord Byron. 

We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British 
public in one of its periodical fits of morality. Ibid. 

From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system 
of ethics, compounded of misanthropy and voluptuous- 
ness, a system in which the two great commandments 
were to hate your neighbour and to love your neigh- 
bour's wife. Ibid. 

What a singular destiny has been that of this remark- 
able man ! To be regarded in his own age as a classic, 
and in ours as a companion ! To receive from his con- 
temporaries that full homage which men of genius have 
in general received only from posterity ! To be more 
intimately known to posterity than other men are known 
to their contemporaries ! On BoswelVs Life of Johnson. 

I have not the Chancellor's encyclopedic mind. He 
is indeed a kind of semi-Solomon. He half knows 
everything, from the cedar to the hyssop.

She [the Roman Catholic Church] may still exist in 
undiminished vigour, when some traveller from New 
Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his 
stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the

1 The same image was employed by Macaulay in 1824, in the con- 
eluding paragraph of a review of Mitford's Greece: and he repeated 

it in his review of Mill's Essay on Government] in 1829. 

What cities, as great as this, have .... promised themselves 
immortality! Posterity can hardly trace the situation of some. The 

sorrowful traveller wanders over the awful ruins of others 

Here stood their citadel, but now grown over with weeds : there their 
senate-house, but now the haunt of every noxious reptile ; temples 
and theatres stood here, now only an undistinguished heap of ruins. 
— Goldsmith, The Bee, No. iv. (1759), A City Night Piece. 

Who knows but that hereafter some traveller like myself will sit 
down upon the banks of the Seine, the Thames, or the Zuyder Zee, 
whore now, in the tumult of enjoyment, the heart and the eyes are 
too slow to take in the multitude of sensations ? Who knows but he 
will sit down solitary amid silent ruins, and weep a people inurned 
and their greatness changed into an emptv name ? — Volnev's Ruins, 
Ch. ii. 

At last some curious traveller from Lima will visit England, and 
give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions of Baal- 
bec and Palmyra. — Horace Walpole, Letter to Mason } Xov. 24, 1774. 
Where now is Britain ? 

Even as the savage sits upon the stone 
That marks where stood her capitols, and hears 
The bittern booming in the weeds, he shrinks 
From the dismaying solitude. — Henry Kirke White, Time. 
In the firm expectation, that when London shall be an habitation 
of bitterns, when St. Paul and Westminster Abbey shall stand, shape- 
less and nameless ruins, in the midst of an unpeopled marsh, when 
the piers of Waterloo Bridge shall become the nuclei of islets of reeds 
and osiers, and cast the jagged shadows of their broken arches on the 
solitary stream, some Transatlantic commentator will be weighing in 
the scales of some new and now unimagined system of criticism the 
respective merits of the Bells and the Fudges, and their historians. — 
Shelley, Dedication to Peter Bell.

536 LONGFELLOW, 

There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, 1 

And, with his sickle keen, 
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, 

And the flowers that grow between. 

The Reaper and the Flowers. 
The star of the unconquered will. The Light of Stars. 

O, fear not in a world like this, 

And thou shalt know erelong, — 
Know how sublime a thing it is 

To suffer and be strong. Ibid. 

Spake full well, in language quaint and olden, 
One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine, 

When he called the flowers, so blue and golden, 

Stars, that in earth's firmament do shine. Flowers. 

The hooded clouds, like friars, 

Tell their beads in drops of rain. Midnight Mass. 

No tears 
Dim the sweet look that Nature wears. 

Sunrise on the Hills. 

No one is so accursed by fate, 
No one so utterly desolate, 

But some heart, though unknown, 

Responds unto his own. Endymion. 

Into each life some rain must fall, 

Some days must be dark and dreary. The Rainy Day, 

For Time will teach thee soon the truth, 
There are no birds in last year's nest ! 2 

It is not always May.

Time has laid his hand 
Upon my heart, gently, not smiting it, 
But as a harper lays his open palm 
Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations.

Let me review the scene, 
And summon from the shadowy Past 

The forms that once have been. .-1 Gleam of Sunshine, 

The day is done, and the darkness 

Falls from the wings of Night, 
As a feather is wafted downward 

From an eagle in his flight. The Day is Done. 

A feeling of sadness and longing- 

O O O 7 

That is not akin to pain. 
And resembles sorrow only 

As the mist resembles the rain. Ibid. 

And the night shall be filled with music, 
And the cares that infest the day 

Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, 

And as silently steal away. Ibid.

There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended,

And mournings for the dead. Ibid,

Whose portal we call Death. Ibid.

A sacred burden is this life ye bear : 
Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly,

But onward, upward, till the goal ye win. 

Lines addressed to the Young Gentlemen leaving the Lenox

Seven hundred years and fifty-three 
Had Eome been growing up to might. 

And now was queen of land and sea. 
Xo sound was heard of clashing wars, 

Peace brooded o'er the hushed domain ; 
Apollo, Pallas. Jove, and Mars 

Held undisturbed their ancient reign 
In the solemn midnight, 

Centuries ago. Christmas Hymn, 



ROBERT BROWNING. 1812 —

APPENDIX. 



Absolutism tempered by assassination. 

Count Ernst Friedrich Minister, Hanoverian Envoy at St. Peters- 
burg, discovered that Russian civilization is "merely artifi- 
cial," and first published to Europe the short description of 
the Russian Constitution, that it is "absolutism tempered by 
assassination." 

A Cadmean victory. 
A Greek proverb. 
^vixfiKryovroov 8e rfi vavfiax' l Vi Ka^/xeir] tis plkt] ro?(Tt QooKai-

A Cadmean victory was one in which the victors suffered as 
much as their enemies. 

Adding insult to injury. 

A fly bit the bare pate of a bald man, who, endeavouring to 
crush it, gave himself a heavy blow. Then said the fly, jeer- 
ingly, "You wanted to revenge the sting of a tiny insect with 
death ; what will you do to yourself, who have added insult to 
injury ?" 

Quid facies tibi, 
Injuria? qui addideris contumeliam ? 
Phaedras, The Bald Man and the Fly, Booh v. Fable 3, 

A foreign nation is a contemporaneous posterity. 

Byron's European fame is the best earnest of his immortality,

A happy accident. 

Madame de Sta'el, V Allemagne, Ch. xvi 



622 APPENDIX. 

All is lost save honour. 

It was from the imperial camp near Pavia, that Francis the 
First, before leaving for Pizzighettone, wrote to his mother 
the memorable letter which, thanks to tradition, has become 
altered to the form of this sublime laconism: "Madame, tout 
est perdu fors riionneur." 

The true expression is, " Madame, pour vous faire savoir comme 
se porte le reste de mon in fortune, de toutes choses ne m'est 
demeure que l'honneur et la vie qui est sauve." — Martin, 
Histoire de France, Tom. viii. 

The correction of this expression was first made by Sismondi, 
Vol. xvi. pp. 241, 242. The letter itself is printed entire in 
Dulaure's Histoire de Paris: "Pour vous avertir comment 
se porte le ressort de mon infortune, de toutes choses ne m'est 
demeure que l'honneur et la vie, — qui est sauve." 

All the brothers were valiant, and all the sisters virtuous. 

% From the inscription on the tomb of the Duchess of Newcastle 
in Westminster Abbey. 

Am I not a man and a brother ? 

From a medallion by Wedgwood (1768), representing a negro in 
chains, with one knee on the ground, and both hands lifted up 
to heaven. This was adopted as a characteristic seal by the 
Antislavery Society of London. 

Appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober. 

Inserit se tantis viris mulier alienigeni sanguinis: qua? a Philippo 
rege temulento immerenter damnata, Provocarem ad Philip- 
pum, inquit, sed sobrinm. — Val. Maximus, Lib. vi. c. 2. 

Architecture is frozen music. 

Since it (architecture) is music in space, as it were a frozen 

music If architecture in general is frozen music. —

La vue d'un tel monument est comme une musique continuelle 
et fixee. — Madame de Stael, Corinne, Livre iv. Ch. 3. 

Art and part. 

A Scotch law phrase, — an accessory before and after the fact. 
A man is said to be art and part of a crime when he contrives 
the manner of the deed, and concurs with and encourages 
those who commit the crime, although he does not put his own 
hand to the actual execution of it. — Scott, Tales of a Grand- 
father, Ch. xxii., Execution of Morton. 



APPENDIX. 623 

Art preservative of all arts. 

From the inscription upon the facade of the house at Harlem, 

formerly occupied by Laurent Koster, or Coster, who is charged, 

among others, with the invention of printing. Mention is first 

made of this inscription about 1628 : — 

Memorise sacrum 

Typographia 

Ars artium omnium 

conservatrix. 

HlC PRIMUM IN VENT A 

Circa annum MCCCCXL 
Before you could say Jack Robinson. 

This current phrase is said to be derived from a humorous song 
by Hudson, a tobacconist in Shoe Lane. London. He was a 
professional song-writer and vocalist, who used to be engaged 
to sing at supper-rooms and theatrical houses. 
A warke it ys as easie to be done 
As tys to save J ache ! robys on. 

An old Play, cited by Halliwell, Arch. Dictionary. 

Begging the question. 

This is a common logical fallacy, petitio principii ; and the first 
explanation of the phrase is to be found in Aristotle's Topica, 
viii. 13, where the five ways of begging the question are set 
forth. The earliest English work in which the expression is 
found is The Arte of ' Logike plainlie set forth in our English 
Tongue, cfc. 1584. 

Beginning of the end. 

Fournier asserts, on the written authority of Talleyrand's brother, 
that the only breviary used by the ex-bishop was L'lmprovi- 
sateur Franqais, a compilation of anecdotes and bon-mots, in 
twenty-one duodecimo volumes. Whenever a good thing was 
wandering about in search of a parent, he adopted it ; amongst 
others, "C'est le commencement de la fin." 
To show our simple skill, 
That is the true beginning of our end. 

Shakespeare, Midsummer Nightfs Dream. 

Best of all possible worlds. 

Que dans ce meilleur des mondes possibles, le chateau de mon- 
seigneur le baron etait le plus beau des chateaux, et madame 
la meilleure des baronnes possibles. — Voltaire, Candide, Ch. i. 



624 APPENDIX. 

Better to wear out than to rust out. 

When a friend told Bishop Cumberland (1632-1718) he would 
wear himself out by his incessant application, "It is better, " 
replied the Bishop, " to wear out than to rust out." — Bishop 
Home, Sermon on the Duty of Contending for the Truth. 

See Boswell's Tour to the Hebrides, p. 18, note. 

Beware of a man of one book. 

When St. Thomas Aquinas was asked in what manner a man 
might best become learned, he answered, "By reading one 
book." The homo unius libri is indeed proverbially formi- 
dable to all conversational figurantes. — Southey, The Doctor, 
p. 164. 

Bitter end. 

This phrase is nearly without meaning as it is used. The true 
phrase, "better end," is used properly to designate a crisis, 
or the moment of an extremity. When, in a gale, a vessel 
has paid out all her cable, her cable has run out to the "better 
end," — the end which is secured within the vessel and little 
used. Robinson Crusoe, in describing the terrible storm in 
Yarmouth Roads, says. " We rode with two anchors ahead, 
and the cables veered out to the better end." 

Blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. 

Plures efficimur, quoties metimur a vobis ; semen est sanguis 

Christianorum. — Tertullian, Apologet., c. 50. 
In a note to this passage in Tertullian, ed. 1641, is the following 

quotation from St. Jerome: "Est sanguis martyrum semina- 

rium Ecclesiarum." 

Cassar's wife should be above suspicion. 

Ca?sar was asked why he had divorced his wife. "Because," 
said he, "I would have the chastity of my wife clear even of 
suspicion." — Plutarch, Life of Ccesar.

APPENDIX. 625 

Cohesive power of public plunder. 

This phrase 1ms grown out of words used by John C. Calhoun in 
a speech, May 27, 1836: "A power has risen up in the gov- 
ernment greater than the people themselves, consisting of 
many and various and powerful interests, combined into one 
mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast sur- 
plus in the banks. " 

Consistency, thou art a jewel. 

This is one of those popular sayings, like "Be good, and you 
will be happy," or "Virtue is its own reward," tbat, like 
Topsy, "never was born, only jist growed." From the earli- 
est times it has been the popular tendency to call this or that 
cardinal virtue, or bright and shining excellence, a jewel, by 
way of emphasis. For example, Iago says: — 

" Good name, in man or woman, dear my lord, 
Is the immediate jewel of their souls." 
Shakespeare elsewhere calls experiences, je wel : Miranda says 
her modesty is the jewel in her dower: and in All 's Well that 
Ends Well, Diana terms her chastity the jewel of her house. — 
R. A. Wight. 

O discretion, thou art a jewel. — From The SJsylarh, a Collection 
of well-chosen English Songs. London, 1772. 

Conspicuous by his absence. 

Sed praefulgebant Cassius atque Brutus, eo ipso quod effigies 

eorum non videbantur. — Tacitus, Annals, iii. 7G. 
Lord John Russell, alluding to an expression used by him in his 

address to the electors of the city of London, said, "It is not 

an original expression of mine, but is taken from one of the 

greatest historians of antiquity." 

Dead as Chelsea. 

To get Chelsea: to obtain the benefit of that hospital. "Dead 
as Chelsea, by G — d! " an exclamation uttered by a grenadier 
at Fontenoy, on having his leg carried away by a cannon-ball. 
— Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, 1758, quoted by Brady, 
Var. of Lit., 182G. 

Defend nie from my friends. 

The French Ana assign to Marechal Yillars taking leave of Louis 
XIY. this aphorism: "Defend me from my friends; I can 
defend myself from my enemies." 

But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, 
Save, save, 0, save me from the candid friend! 

Canning, The New Morality.

626 APPENDIX. 

Die in the last ditch. 

To William of Orange may be ascribed this saying. When 
Buckingham urged the inevitable destruction which hung over 
the United Provinces, and asked him whether he did not see 
that the commonwealth was ruined, "There is one certain 
means/' replied the Prince, "by which I can be sure never to 
see my country's ruin, — / will die in the last ditch" — 
Hume, History of England, 1672.

Crispin is made to exercise, in honour of his namesake, St. 
Crispin, the trade of shoemaking. 
There is a tradition that King Edward IV., in one of his dis- 
guises, once drank with a party of shoemakers, and pledged 
them. The story is alluded to in the old play : — 

Marry because you have drank with the King, 
And the King hath so graciously pledged you 
You shall no more be called shoemakers; 
But you and yours, to the world's end, 
Shall be called the trade of the gentle craft.

These were two of the most famous in the list of Charlemagne's 
twelve peers ; and their exploits are rendered so ridiculously 
and equally extravagant by the old romancers, that from 



632 APPENDIX. 

thence arose that saying, amongst our plain and sensible an- 
cestors, of giving one a "Rowland for his Oliver," to signify 
the matching one incredible lie with another. — Thomas War- 
burton. 

Sardonic smile. 

The island of Sardinia, consisting chiefly of marshes or of moun- 
tains, has, from the earliest period to the present, been cursed 
with a noxious air, an ill-cultivated soil, and a scanty popula- 
tion. The convulsions produced by its poisonous plants gave 
rise to the expression of sardonic smile, which is as old as 
Homer (Odyssey, xx. 302). — Mahon, History of England, 
Vol. i. p. 287. 

See how these Christians love one another. 

Vide, inquiunt, ut invicem se diligant. — Tertullian, Apologet.. 
c. 39. 

Sinews of war. 

JEschines (Adv. Cttsiph., c. 53) ascribes to Demosthenes the 
expression vTvorirfx-qrai ra vevpa rcou irpayjudrcoi', "the sin- 
ews of affairs are cut." Diogenes Laertius, in his Life of Bion 
(Lib. iv. c. 7, § 3), represents that philosopher as saying 
top tt\ovtov elvai vevpa irpayfjLarwv, "that riches were the 
sinews of business," or, as the phrase may mean, " of the 
state." Referring, perhaps, to this maxim of Bion, Plutarch 
says in his Life of Cleomenes (c. 27), "He who first called 
money the sinews of the state seems to have said this with 
special reference to war." Accordingly, we find money called 
expressly ra vevpa rod iroXtfxov, "the sinews of war," in 
Libanins, Orat. xlvi. ( Vol. ii. p. 477, ed. Reiske), and by the 
Scholiast on Pindar, Olymp., i. 4 (comp. Photius, Lex. s. v. 
Msydvopos irAovrov). So Cicero, Philipp., v. 2, "nervos 
belli, infmitam pecuniam." 

Smell of the lamp. 

Plutarch, Life of Demosthenes. 

Speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts. 

lis n'employent les paroles que pour de'guiser leurs pensees. — 
Voltaire, Dialogue xiv. 1763. 

"When Harel wished to put a joke or witticism into circulation, 
he was in the habit of connecting it with some celebrated 
name, on the chance of reclaiming it if it took. Thus he as- 
signed to Talleyrand in the Nain Jaune the phrase, " Speech 
was given to man to disguise his thoughts." — Fournier, 
V Esprit dans V Histoire. See Young, ante, p. 266. 



APPENDIX. 633 

Strike, but hear. 

Euiybiades lifting up his staff as if he was going to strike, 
Themistocles said, "Strike if you will, but hear." — Plutarch,

C'est une tempete dans une verre d'eau. — This was said of the

Grand-Due de Russie, and also to Linguet. 

The empire, it is peace. 

An exclamation of Napoleon III. at a public banquet at Bor- 
deaux, Oct. 9, 1852. 

The Guard dies, but never surrenders. 

This phrase, attributed to Cambronne. who was made prisoner 
at Waterloo, was vehemently denied by him. It was invented 
by Rongemont, a prolific author of mots, two days after the 
battle, in the Independant. — Founder, L' 'Esprit dans VHis- 
toire. 

The King is dead ! Long live the King ! 

The death of Louis XIV. was announced by the captain of the 
body-guard from the window of the state apartment. Raising 
his truncheon above his head, he broke it in the centre, and, 
throwing the pieces among the crowd, exclaimed in a loud 
voice, Le Roi est mart I then, taking another staff, he flour- 
ished it in the air as he shouted, Vive le Roi !

etry," said Euclid to Ptolemy I.

We are dancing on a volcano. 

In the midst of a fete given by the Duke of Orleans to the King 
of Naples, in 1830, a few days before the events of the three 
days of July, M. de Salvandy said to the Duke, "Nous dan- 
sons sur un volean." 

When at Rome, do as the Romans do. 

St. Augustine was in the habit of dining upon Saturday as upon 
Sunday; but, being puzzled with the different practices then 
prevailing (for they had begun to fast at Rome on Saturday), 
consulted St. Ambrose on the subject. Now at Milan they 
did not fast on Saturday, and the answer of the Milan saint 
was this: "When I am here, I do not fast on Saturday; when 
at Rome, I do fast on Saturday." 

"Quando hie sum, non jejuno Sabbato: quando Romse sum, 
jejuno Sabbato." — St. Augustine, Epistle, xxxvi. to Co.su- 
ianus. 

When they are at Rome, they do there as they see done. — Burton,

Where the shoe pinches. 

Plutarch relates the story of a Roman being divorced from his 
wife. " This person, being highly blamed by his friends, who 
demanded, Was she not chaste ? Was she not fair? holding 
out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well 
made. Yet, added he, none of you can tell where it pinches 
me." — Plutarch, Life of JEmilius Paulus. 

Wisdom of many and the wit of one.
